I am curious how many of you are sitting in your current home and not moving due to the housing market. 2 years ago, I took a job about 35 miles away from my town. (easy 40 min commute each way) I want to move, and have my house on the market, but I like my house alot, am not crazy about the town the job is in, and dont want to sell my house for a loss, so even though my house is on the market, I think I will be staying there for a little while longer, or even alot while longer.
DH and I are doing the same thing ....for now. We'd really like to leave NJ because of how expensive its gotten. Fortunately, in my area housing has not dropped much. We are nervous to leave because my daughter is a freshman in high school and we don't want to mess her all up; we're worried about jobs and making enough money down south to make a move like this "worth it"; and we're worried about actually leaving the only state we'd ever called home. For right now we've decided to continue thinking about it.....I'm just afraid that if we don't go this year - next year will be too hard for my daughter and we wouldn't go anyway. Another thing we are considering is - people in NJ are so angry with our current problems, and so many people are leaving - but in 5 years will it start getting better? Will we leave and then find that things are improving here? Its a lot to think about.

Anyone else in same situation?
35 miles isn't that far of a commute. heck i commute 45 miles. my house is on the market because we're relocating out of state. if i could pack up my house and move it with us i would. i love my house and will miss it but i won't miss new england weather.
